Sexagenarian Success

I was tired of raking leaves and asked for a Cub Cadet for my 69th birthday. What a happy day it was, and continues to be, with my Cub Cadet!

The machine is heavy and hard to push. Future models should be self-propelled.

Does What It Is Supposed To Do.

I received the unit in a semi-assembled condition which was expected.Putting it together the rest of the way was easy.After putting the oil and gas in it,it started okay. The pull-cord handle position is a bit awkward for me to use.The machine does a good job of picking up leaves and does fill the bag up pretty quickly if you have a substantial leaf cover on the ground.Dumping the bag and refitting it to reuse is a bit of a chore.The vacuum hose attachment works well but is kind of chintzy, especially the intake nozzle end.

The hose is attached to it with a clamp but there is no ridge on the nozzle to keep the hose secure.It would also be nice to have a wheel lock or brake on it to keep it from rolling around when trying to use the vacuum hose.The grille on the top of the engine traps leaves and could possibly obstruct the engine cooling.Please be aware also that it is stated in the description that the machine is not intended for picking up acorns or nuts,something that I overlooked when I ordered it(my bad). If I had to do it over again I would would go for a machine with a bigger bag and the ability to to suck up acorns.

I've used my Cub Cadet (1.5") 159cc Chipper Shredder Vacuum three times. It meets my expectations, which were high, and is a real time-saver! Just wish it could pick up acorns, but I knew it couldn't when I bought it. As far as I know, there are no Chipper Shredder Vacuum's on the market able to pick up nuts.

Pros:Easy To Use, Price, Fast, High Quality

Cons:Heavy

Great Machine, Leaf Bag Not So Good

The machine worked awesome right up to the point when the plastic handle ripped off the bag and could no longer be used.

Pros:Easy To Use

Cons:Low Quality, Durability

Faulty Part

I have had this machine for just this fall and winter season here in Texas. I have two large red oaks in my yard and they produce a mountain of leaves. This machine cut my chores by 75%, but the plastic part that supports the bag to the handles broke after just a few uses.

The company sent me a replacement bag and sure enough it lasted just a few uses also. The part is about 75% separated now but not totally broken into two pieces. Now that the season is over I now have a bag that will not be under warranty after two or three uses next fall. I love that it has saved me tons of leaf raking but the company needs to design a better part.

Mixed Review

After reading many reviews, I purchased this vacuum. The pros were that it's easy to assemble, it started on the first pull every time and the bag is easy to empty. The cons were it's heavy to push around on hilly terrain (I'd try the self propelled version instead). This vacuum works great if you go slow and there aren't many leaves. I would recommend it if you have a flat yard and are going to use it every couple of days.

Once you get a pile of leaves this thing will make you insane. It clogs frequently. The hose attachment clogged within a minute each time I tried to use it on a pile of leaves. It does not pick up twigs or acorns. I used 7 tanks of gas on a 1/2 acre and only 1/3 of the leaves are off the trees. Again, great if you are going to use it every couple of days if not, I would definitely look at a bigger machine. Hope this helps someone.

Hose Clogs

I cleaned my backyard this evening and the hose kept clogging up inside and I would have to beat it with my hand to get it to continue down the hose. I spent probably about 25% of my time unclogging.

Also, I had to keep re-clamping the hose on both ends because they would come off. The hose clamp connection on the handle seems to not have enough for the hose to go onto and get a good clamp.

Its a pain needless to say. It's not a bad machine but I think the vacuum hose part of it could suck a bit better but it does same me time overall.

Recent Purchase

I hesitated purchasing last year, so I wanted to be prepared for Fall this year. The leaves have not started to fall yet, but I have used my cub cadet to suck-up leaves and twigs that drop onto the driveway. So far, I am impressed. I live in the city and have a city-sized lot. I have used the Cub to suck-up the mess left at the curb. It works well here too.

Most importantly, I ordered my Cub on a Thursday and it was delivered on Monday! The freight carrier was amazing and worked with my schedule so I didn't have to rearrange my day to make myself available. Would I purchase again? You bet'cha. Thank You Leaf Blower Direct!

Goodbye Leaves.

Works very well esp using the hose in flowerbeds. Does clog in the hose at times, but nothing is perfect. Wished I would have bought one years ago!

Not Reliable

We recently purchased this machine for leaves and small twigs in our yard. It was easy to assemble however I could tell right away it was not a quality product. The connections and parts were flimsy.

Turns out I was correct. It does not have much suction, the cloth bag allows a huge amount of dust to be released, and is very difficult to empty. The hose part clogs quickly and has very little suction. Overall, very disappointed with this product, would NOT recommend.
